Description

UI testing is a critical aspect of ensuring the reliability and functionality of web applications. Playwright, coupled with TypeScript, provides a robust framework for creating and executing UI tests with ease.

Configuration and Examples

In the test folder, you'll find:

• Configuration File:

Modify the playwright.config.ts file in the test folder to customize settings as per your requirements. documentation

• Test Examples:

Explore the test-examples directory for sample tests that demonstrate various functionalities.

• Ready-to-Use Test Folder:

The tests folder is ready for you to start writing your tests.

How to use it

1. Install Dependencies and run tests:
Copy

yarn test

2. Write New Tests:
• Navigate to the specs directory.
• Create a new TypeScript file for your test (e.g., myTest.spec.ts).
• Write your test using Playwright and TypeScript.
Copy

typescriptCopy code
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('My Test', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  await expect(page.title()).toBe('Example Domain');
});

• Run the new test:
Copy

bashCopy code
npx playwright test myTest.spec.ts

Best Practices

When working with UI testing using Playwright and TypeScript, it's recommended to follow the Page Object Model (POM) pattern. POM helps in creating maintainable and scalable tests by encapsulating the UI elements and their interactions. You can find more information about the Page Object Model here.

Adhering to the following best practices can enhance the efficiency of your UI testing:

• Use Page Objects: Implement the Page Object pattern for better test structure and maintenance.
• Isolate Test Data: Keep test data isolated to prevent dependencies between tests.
• Use Descriptive Test Names: Write descriptive and meaningful test names for better clarity.
